Default Well, I finally did it!

I bought the Suzuki last night. Thanks for all of your input and I look forward to speaking and learning more and more from you guys in the near future. The bike is a 2004 Suzuki VL800 Limited Edition. Only mods are a different seat and the Cobra Pipes. Also has the master cylinder cover changed out. It has 2100 miles and I am finishing up the MSF course this weekend. Let me know what you guys think!

That sure looks nice to me! I bet the weather's nice out there for a ride.

My bike's in storage, haven't seen it in two months. I should have taken more pictures.

Ride safe.

Today the high is going to 42 degrees.. Doh.. Not as cold as WI though but still not warm enough when you get up for work at 5am
Thanks for the compliments and I can't wait until the weather is warm enough to ride daily!

Great looking bike.

The only problem with the bike is, the more you ride it, the bigger the grin gets.

nice bike. With only 2100 miles, you should be able to drive that for years.

But, usually, guys change their minds.

The coldest ride I took last November before I put the bike in storage was 42 degrees and I'll admit that is a cold ride. Today about noon the temp finally got up to zero. At least we're half way through winter though, another 2 months and there might be a few days I could ride.

Not sure if you're referring to my bike or not?

In some other news, I completed the MSF course on Sunday and am not offical. I will no longer be riding illegally..
So, I want to say thanks for all the great info I have gotten here and I plan to become a regular member!

It's always good to keep the illegal riding to a minimum.
